This week's theme for Top Ten Tuesday, hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, is "Books For Armchair Travelers." I love this topic! Nearly all of my favorite fiction revolves around books set in special locations, usually places I haven't visited yet. It was hard to choose my favorites but I've tried to list ones that do a good job of really making you feel like you are there.
I don't read much in the way of modern fiction so these stories are historical. But they still do a great job of describing culture and atmosphere of the setting. Here is my list...happy reading y'all!
